"Brief aan Max Liebermann" was composed in 1903 by E. & M. Cohen with ink on paper. The density of the ink creates a tangible texture, each word a landscape of peaks and valleys. Look at the "P" in "Peren," see how the loop extends, it’s almost playful, a tiny dance on the page. The letters are formed with such energy that each one becomes a unique gesture, a testament to the physical act of writing. The varying pressure of the pen against the paper reminds me of Cy Twombly's scribbles. Both artists transform simple marks into complex emotional statements. It is as if the act of writing itself becomes a form of expression. The varying shades of the ink, from deep blacks to faded grays, add another layer of depth and complexity. Each word, each letter, each stroke tells a story, inviting us to imagine the thoughts and feelings of the writer as they put pen to paper.
